bathroom window glass types / frosted bathroom glass - BF001

Description:

Tempered glass is a type of glass with evenly distributed compressive stresses on the surface which is made by heating float glass to nearly softening point and then cooling it down rapidly by air. During the instant

cooling process, the glass exterior is solidified due to rapid cooling while the interior of glass is cooled down

relatively slowly. This process will improve the glass exterior compressive stress and interior tensile stress

resistance which can improve the overall mechanical strength of glass by gemination and result in good

thermal stability.

Main methods to temper glass: Rapid cooling method (thermal tempering), chemical enhancement

method (chemical tempering). Classification based on type of equipment used: horizontal tempering,

vertical tempering, air cushion toughened. Further divided into degree of tempering: tempering,

semi-tempering and regions tempering. Product properties: flat steel and bent steel. The most commonly

used technique used currently is the rapid cooling method.

Rapid cooling method principle: glass is heated to the softening point in the heating furnace, then rapidly

cooled by the air.

Tempered glass features: When the glass is broken by external shocks, under the controlled inner

energy,the glass is broken into small pieces. Compared to the knife and angular shaped glass shards

seen after broken ordinary glass, the risk to human safety is minimized due to the smaller controlled

pieces of empered glass after breakage.

Applications:

glass walls, windows, doors, fence, partitions, screens, shower room and furniture glass, the protection

place which is high requirement to the personal security

the intensity of glass is increased 3 to 5 times (when compared to ordinary glass which is less 40 ~ 60MPa);

improves tensile properties of the glass surface;

improves heat resistance of the glass, heat shock resistance can reach up to 280 ~ 320 °C;

safety and reliability.
